Taft Proposes Bill Easing Union Shop Ruling
Senator Taft outlines a bill to remove mandatory elections for union shop decisions, arguing a recent Supreme Court ruling cast doubt on NLRB practices. The plan would let employers and unions establish a union shop without an election, with a 30 percent vote trigger to undo. The move follows NLRB actions during AFL and CIO leaders refusing anti-Communist oaths and affects thousands of cases nationwide.
